Vincent Truglia

The German news magazine DER SPIEGEL recently hired me to shoot a portrait of Vincent Truglia, Managing Director of Global Economic Research at Granite Springs Asset Management. It was a fun shoot and I took advantage of the beautiful view from his office on the 28th floor of a Midtown office tower. Mr. Truglia seemed a little disappointed that I didn’t make him “climb on anything”. Having worked as the head of the Sovereign Risk Unit at Moody’s Rating Agency for 15 years he has been photographed extensively (and by demanding photographers).

That very day – August 4th – the bottom dropped out of the stock market and the DOW fell 500 points. When I look at the photograph now, in retrospect, I feel like those are storm clouds gathering.
